READYNAS 214 and Dropbox Sync

Hello, I've a NAS RN214, used to store big media files (videos, audio). I synced with Dropbox all the medias in the NAS (4 TB). The dropbox cloud service is set in "push only". Dropbox should copy all the new files (or the modiefied ones). Every time I restart the NAS, Dropbox starts uploading all the files!! :-( I tried different setup without solve the issue. It a big issue because, with my home-line, I need 150-200 days to upload everything! I can't understand what else to do. Any ideas?

  • Hi, 

     

    Did this ever work? According to 6.7.x firmware release notes Netgear changed to the newest version of Dropbox,  but it required to reconfigure Dropbox from scratch. 

     

    Perhaps that is the issue? Turn Dropbox of completely --> turn back on Dropbox and then reconfigure it.

      Hi to Everyone.

      I was so happy with the new dropbox system released with the firmware update.

      I configured it again (I tested different solutions) but the issue is the same.

      Now there are logs so, I can see, it starts to upload again the same files. If it's useful, I can post a log example.

      I tried also to delete the Dropbox temp files to reset the local infos, but I didn't solve the issue. 

      Every reboot it start to upload ALL the files, also the uploaded ones.
